In this episode we’re so excited to have the amazing entrepreneur and bestselling author Marianne Lehikoinen as our guest.
Marianne built her company Smart Mentoring from scratch into a million-dollar business. What started as a solo business with no capital or industry connections grew into a highly systemized, seven-figure company with over 1000% growth in its third year. Today she has helped more than 600 coaches, consultants and service-based entrepreneurs build premium businesses.
And alongside everything she has built, Marianne is also a mom of two.
What makes Marianne’s story so interesting is that behind the business growth is just as much personal growth. We talk about the importance of investing in yourself, challenging the beliefs that hold you back and learning to think bigger about what’s possible.
We explore whether growth is really linear and what it looks like to do the inner work while building a business. We talk about writing a #1 Amazon Best Seller book, surrounding yourself with the right people and why building a strong team, delegate and let go can be such an important part of creating both a successful business and more freedom in your life.
